Sorry, but that's utter BS.Dana sort of had a point, Aldo was prone to injury and not that active as champ. Him being champ of two divisions likely would hold them up. Aldo does not move the needle enough to risk that..
Here, let me give you a snapshot of title defenses:
These are the number of fights per year.
I compared with the other top fighters and how they fared.
As you can see, Aldo is as active or more than GSP, SIlva or Jon every fucking year.
Besides, how active was GSP when he got a MW title shot???
And How active was Conor after his champ-champ run???
So no, I don't buy this excuse. Not for a second!!
And don't get me started with this "move a needle" crap.
Aldo is pretty famous and most Brazil watched his fights (but you wouldn't know because the PPV numbers are US only).
